Gov. Patrick, at a loss for words.
...[A] new effort is under way to ban greyhound racing, a sport that has kept hundreds employed at tracks in Raynham and Revere for decades. A ban would shutter both tracks, unless slots are approved. But ask Patrick about the possible ban and you won’t get his pro-casino, jobs-first speech. You’ll get apathy.“I’m going to do my best not to feel like I have to have an opinion on absolutely everything,” the governor told State House News Service this week when asked about his position on greyhound racing.
The non-response caused state Republican party spokesman Barney Keller to quip: “I can’t wait to read that chapter in the governor’s book - apparently for Deval Patrick, leadership means having no opinion.”
